 It’s too bad that so many don’t even know that @keitholberman’s Countdown has been reborn as a podcast. And he produces it late at night, or early in the morning, so he’s often got the breaking news first. And while he’s always had his excesses (who hasn’t), he remains one of the sharpest (and  courageous) political commentators in America.  He’s not always right, but he’s almost always right. And more people should be listening to him as this fight for the soul of America heats up. 
 @40cd5708 KO is still awesome, and you can switch him off when he rambles on too long. Countdown! 
 I find most podcasts pretty unrewarding.  There are some I never miss. Countdown is one of them.  I just fast forward through some of the ads, schtick, and his sometimes unbearable anecdotal admiration of himself and his many milestones, accomplishments, and poor choices of women to bed.
